The Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) has announced a series of protest programs following the shooting death of activist Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. DUCSU Vice President Sadiq Kayem declared the initiative through a Facebook post, calling for nationwide student participation. The programs include a prayer service at the university’s central mosque after Friday prayers and an anti-hegemony rally at Shahbagh in the afternoon.

Hadi, described by supporters as a campaigner against Indian dominance, was reportedly shot dead by individuals alleged to be affiliated with the ruling Awami League. His death has sparked widespread outrage across several universities, including Chittagong, Islamic University, Jagannath University, and Rajshahi University, where students have staged demonstrations demanding justice.

Observers note that the incident could intensify existing political tensions on campuses. DUCSU leaders have vowed to continue their movement until those responsible are brought to justice, while authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the killing or the protests.
